> What if she refuses to do the work unpaid?
Depending on the competition for her job and the state laws, she would either be put onto a performance management program, or fired. I've been through this before. The HR approved response is that they expect those 100-page reports to be complete within normal working hours, and a failure to achieve that means you are unable to fulfill the requirements of the job.
Of course those in high demand who can easily move to better employers will often do so. However there is a lot of friction when moving jobs. It's very time consuming, mentally demanding, and risky. I've seen incredibly talented staff treated awfully in my years, and they refuse to leave for various reasons.

If I recall correctly, for a while, Amazon used to force staff to arrive early (before shifts) but did not pay them for it. DoL got involved and the rules changed. To be clear: It is difficult, but not impossible, to make labor practices change with the help of DoL. EDIT This part should have appeared first: I agree that your scenario is the most likely outcome, even if I think it is reprehensible!
